kbuild: Disable extra debugging info in .s output

Modern gcc adds view assignments, reset assertion checking in .loc
directives and a couple more additional debug markers, which clutters
the asm output unnecessarily:

For example:

  bsp_resume:
  .LFB3466:
          .loc 1 1868 1 is_stmt 1 view -0
          .cfi_startproc
          .loc 1 1869 2 view .LVU73
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume)
          .loc 1 1869 14 is_stmt 0 view .LVU74
          movq    this_cpu(%rip), %rax    # this_cpu, this_cpu
          movq    64(%rax), %rax  # this_cpu.94_1->c_bsp_resume, _2
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume)
          .loc 1 1869 5 view .LVU75
          testq   %rax, %rax      # _2
          je      .L8     #,
          .loc 1 1870 3 is_stmt 1 view .LVU76
          movq    $boot_cpu_data, %rdi    #,
          jmp     __x86_indirect_thunk_rax

or
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU478
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU479
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU480
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU481
  .LBB1385:
  .LBB1383:
  .LBB1379:
  .LBB1377:
  .LBB1375:
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU482
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU483
        movl	%edi, %edx	# cpu, cpu
  .LVL87:
        .loc 2 57 9 is_stmt 0 view .LVU484

That MOV in there is drowned in debugging information and latter makes
it hard to follow the asm. And that DWARF info is not really needed for
asm output staring.

Disable the debug information generation which clutters the asm output
unnecessarily:

  bsp_resume:
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume)
          movq    this_cpu(%rip), %rax    # this_cpu, this_cpu
          movq    64(%rax), %rax  # this_cpu.94_1->c_bsp_resume, _2
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu->c_bsp_resume)
          testq   %rax, %rax      # _2
          je      .L8     #,
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1870:            this_cpu->c_bsp_resume(&boot_cpu_data);
          movq    $boot_cpu_data, %rdi    #,
          jmp     __x86_indirect_thunk_rax
  .L8:
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1871: }
          rep ret
          .size   bsp_resume, .-bsp_resume
